You want to go to the gym, but you always have an excuse. “It’s too hot outside. I’m too tired. I’ll go tomorrow.” You need a motivation booster. Going to the gym has numerous physical and psychological benefits; it will improve your quality of life.
Sparling mentions energy-saving devices and technology as a cause for obesity in college students. Small changes, like walking up the stairs instead of taking the escalator or elevator, make a difference. Additionally, sitting at your desk or in the library all day is detrimental. Get up and stroll around Washington Square Park or a park in your area.
Working out provides far more benefits than burning fat to battle obesity. Physical activity increases oxygen and blood flow in the body. It improves stamina and flexibility, and prevents lung and heart diseases. Unfortunately, these things do not happen overnight. You need to invest time in this process, and you will gradually see results.
The next two motivational reasons to work out go hand-in-hand. Look better, feel better. Our bodies are malleable; we can sculpt them, making them solid and chiseled, or perhaps soft and rotund. You have the power to change the way your body looks. Of course, we all have genetic limitations, but for the most part, we can control our bodies.
Think of the gym as your workshop. Each exercise affects your body and causes change. This gives you a lot of power when it comes to shaping your body. But, like Uncle Ben shared in Spider-Man, “With great power comes great responsibility.” We hold responsibility for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and staying physically fit. Give your body the respect it deserves.

Once you attain the body image you aspire to, your self-esteem and confidence will increase. Insecurities that you may have had about your body will vanish, and you will accomplish more. I know from personal experience that after a workout, I feel good about the way I look, and it shows.
NOW is the time to be proactive about your physical fitness. Your body is a temple, and should be treated as such. Be responsible and take care of your body. By going to the gym and staying active, you can lead a healthy lifestyle, look the way you want, feel good about it, and have a more positive outlook on life.
